Abstract

1,063,257. Ignition systems. JOSEPH LUCAS (INDUSTRIES) Ltd. Oct. 28, 1965 [Dec.2, 1964; March 10, 1965], Nos. 48946/64 and 10108/65. Heading F1B. In an ignition system energy derived from a battery is stored in an inductor and then used to produce a spark, the amount of energy stored being determined by a current sensing device which stops current flow from the battery to the inductor when the current flowing in the inductor reaches a predetermined value. As shown when the control circuit 28 receives a pulse from the generator 27 it assumes a state in which it supplies a signal to the switch 14 to turn the switch 14 on. The capacitor 24 has been previously charged and now discharges through the primary winding 23 of the ignition transformer and the main terminals of the switch 14 so that a spark is produced at the appropriate plug. While the switch 14 is on current flows through the inductor 16 and the current sensing device 17 and when the current flowing through the device 17 reaches a predetermined magnitude a signal is fed from the device 17 to the control circuit 28 to cause the circuit 28 to assume an alternative state in which the signal applied to the control terminal of the switch 14 is altered so that the switch 14 is turned off. The energy stored in the inductor 16 now charges the capacitor 24 and the cycle is repeated when a further pulse is received by the control circuit 28. The switch 14 may comprise a transistor or a gate controlled switch which latter term is explained in the Specification. A temperature sensitive resistor may be included in the circuit. The invention is further described with reference to circuit diagrams of Figs. 2 to 7 (not shown).
